An unobstructed view
A dusty or foggy lens on your camera can ruin those precious road trip pictures, but the team over at LensPen has developed the Outdoor Pro kit to keep the lens on your camera, binoculars, rangefinder and spotting scope clean. Highly portable, the kit includes the LensPen Original, MiniPro II, MicroKlear and FogKlear, all of which were designed with a specific purpose in cleaning lenses.
The Original and MicroKlear are shaped like a pen and have two different cleaning functions on each end; one end has a small brush to deal with dust and loose dirt and the other has a flexible chamois tip to take care of those oily fingerprints. For non-lens surfaces that need cleaning, MicroKlear is just the answer with its microfibre material that is machine washable. Also, the FogKlear is an anti-fog, natural fibre cloth that allows for 200 swipes per unit. All the products are designed to be environmentally friendly and will do no damage to your gear. Whether in blazing heat, or teeth-chattering cold, this kit can keep your lens clean to give you clear pictures and keep memories of your trips abroad alive.

Oral hygiene, meet eco-friendliness
It's easy to keep up with beauty and health routines while travelling, but have you ever thought of the environmental impact of these routines? RADIUS, a company that has been creating dental products and related gear for 26 years, has. They've recently debuted RADIUS Organic Biodegradable Silk Floss, a biodegradable floss that has been sourced from sustainable mulberry trees in Columbia. This silk floss is the first of its kind on the market.
RADIUS floss is coated in vegan candelilla wax from candelilla shrubs. Because the floss is soft and gentle on gums, it removes plaque effectively without pain or bleeding gums. Flossing is a key factor in preventing periodontal diseases.

Be cool
For RVers and road trippers who want to bring food along to save on their meal budget, a Dometic portable cooler is just the thing to keep everything stored at the proper temperature.
These high-tech, lightweight units plug right into a car, truck or RV 12-volt outlet and cool any contents without the mess of ice. With no moving parts, the cooler transfers heat from the outside to cool the interior using heat exchangers and grill-covered air fans. Two portable coolers from Dometic are the S28 soft-side cooler and the TF-14 car cooler. The S28 soft side has a velcro shoulder strap, a large exterior pocket, comes in blue or orange stripes and can hold up to 28 litres, while the TF-14 has three outside pockets and holds up to 14 litres. Dometic provides leisure products for RV, automotive, marine, lodging and medical markets with products ranging from air conditioners to mobile power equipment.

Boldly go…
If you've ever felt limited to staying in campgrounds with your RV trailer or camper, take a look at the latest offering from the combined efforts of Chrysler brands Jeep and Mopar.
The two companies teamed up to design a tent trailer specifically for off-road camping, using the Jeep brand, which will become available in late August. The results of their efforts are two tent trailer models; the Trail Edition for the casual off-roader and the Extreme Trail Edition for the hardcore enthusiast. Following in the tradition of the Jeep brand, the trailers were designed with inspiration from their parent vehicles—incorporating 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels, with 5-lug by 5-inch bolt pattern that can utilize most Jeep spare tires.
The Trail Edition makes use of lightweight tubular-aluminum materials to mitigate towing weight and is pulled on the Wrangler Rubicon's 32-inch BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires. The tires provide 12 inches of ground clearance using a dynamite suspension system with strategically placed heavy-duty diamond-plated aluminum to handle any kind of environmental abuse. The inside features 76 inches of headroom with a stowable centre table, a sofa capable of folding into a bed and a queen-size bed that extends over the side of the trailer. A 110-volt power inverter provides options for cooking, heating, cooling and entertainment. For people looking to escape any kind of civilization, the Extreme Trail Edition has the capability to traverse all kinds of ridiculous terrain. With more ground clearance at 15 inches, a full underbody skid plate and a black-diamond plated aluminum fender design capable of handling tires up to 37 inches, the Extreme can go where no portable tent trailer is meant to.

Natural sinus relief
Hay fever impacts my life every summer. I sneeze, my nose runs and my palate itches like mad. The SinuCleanse works! It relieved the itch. It essentially washes inside your nasal passages. The product consists of a plastic squeeze bottle with a tapered tip designed to fit comfortably in the nostril along with pouches of a salt and baking soda mixture. You just empty one (or two) pouches into the bottle, add lukewarm tap water, put the lid on, shake gently to mix and it is ready to use. Insert the bottle into one nostril, squeeze gently (feeling the warm water make its way into the nether regions of your nose and palate, then exit through your other nostril into the sink) and repeat on the other side. I figured it out right away, and the relief from my allergy symptoms was immediate. I recommend this to anyone and everyone who has any kind of nasal passage problem. It’s a brilliant concept.

No more jacking around
Anyone who has used stacks of wooden blocking to shore up their hitch during uncoupling will appreciate the convenience and safety offered by the Fastway Flip automatic jack foot. This strong, powder-coated jack foot extension automatically adds 15 centimetres (six inches) to your jack. The Flip remains conveniently in place and flips out of the way when not in use—allowing it to be used even in low-clearance situations. Never fumble with blocks of wood again.
